Standard cable has a higher loss than the type used on a satellite dish so using a long length of it will tend to degrade the signal. If it's only a short length then it may work OK. Only way is to try it & see what happens. It may be tricky to fit the connector but looks like you have already thought of that. I have used 5m of standard cable in an installation and it worked OK with no visible signal loss.
